Curriculum and Teaching

With special procedure that not focusing on learning to pronounce in alphabetical order, this will allow children to mix and understand the word fast.

Teaching each sound will be stories, songs and motion pictures to make the learning easier and appealing to children to learn, which they will response better and grow their knowledge.
In addition, our program also enhance the skills and techniques to learn new words by encouraging children to be a reader and a writer themselves from the beginning and avoid learning in traditional methods.

This is for children to truly reflect the pronunciation correctly and learn how to use language from native speakers that have good knowledge, expertise in teaching Phonic and experience teaching young children in particular.

Classroom Management
